Default cam and stall help on lq9 stroker 408

Ok here is my set up so far

Its an lq9 block 408 ci. Its not completely done yet but compression should be around 9.5, I've got the 6.0 truck heads. Got 3.73's and eventually a 4l80 going in. All this fitting in a 2008 single cab short wheel base silverado. Its gonna be driven on the street a lot. So I don't want a huge stall and I really don't want to spin the engine past about 6500. But I want that aggressive cam sound at idle. I don't care if I lose a little streetability I just don't want it to die on me at stop signs lol! Oh and it'd going to also have nitrous. So give me some ideas on cams and what stall I should get. And if anyone could do that with some horsepower and torque estimates That b great too! Thanks everyone

You might want a little more gear due to the 4L80e's high first gear, but it is all drivers prefrence.

I would message pat g on tech, I would also not run any smaller tire at the track smaller than a 28-10.5. A 4.10 gear is ok, but a 4.30 is nice!

Yeah I was planning on about a 28" on the tire. I'm stuck with the 3.73's for now so that's what I gotta work off of. Would a 3000 stall still be ok on the streets? That's what I was gonna get. Or something close to that. I still wanna hear some actual numbers on the cam size. Just a rough estimate. Ill contact pat I just want some numbers lol

I used to run 3.73's with a 28" tire. Now I have 4.56's and love them!

Man 4.56's just sounds like way to much for me. I still plan on taking it on the occasional road trip lol hows those 4.56's on the top end?
